Venga que os traigo cositas ricas para empezar el año!!! el 19.01.2021 para ser más exactos.

Bezier Games cosechó un gran éxito con la edición kickstarter del Suburbia, recaudó casi 2 millones de dólares, os dejo el link de esa campaña:

Pues bien, han decidido sacar una Versión Deluxe de su laureado Castles of Mad King Ludwing!!! No se si habéis jugado al juego pero, para mi, es un juegazo. El Suburbia está muy bien, pero para mi el castillos es superior En él, tienes que ir comprando losetas y haciendo combos con ellas. Y también destaca el momento de la subasta, en el cual tienes que organizar, en tu turno, las loseta que hay a la venta para que la gente las compre... Si las pones muy baratas ganarás poco pero si las pones caras... Ganarás cero  Un grandísimo juego, de verdad.

En esta nueva edición, sacan nuevo arte, losetas más grandes, insertos Gametrayz, varias expansiones (una de ellas añade jugadores asimétricos), componentes Deluxe, el número máximo de juagdores pasa de 4 a 5, monedas metálicas, fichas de póker...

Os dejo el vídeo de la precampaña:

Muy buen juego. Recomendable, no para una edición explotada, pero si el antiguo

Yo siempre he jugado con la copia de un amigo... Y ahí es donde me encandiló. Al acabar cada partida, siempre le decía: "si  lo sacan en plan Deluxe, no me podré resistir"... Un sueño hecho realidad!!!

Yo me esperaría a ver el precio. Para una versión Deluxe de este juego, que cuenten conmigo, pero me temo que es una "Collector's Edition" que rondara los 100 eureles (como en su día el Suburbia CE). La diferencia es que Suburbia traia bastante mas contenido (pilas de losetas, un montón de tokens, la torre... Habrá que esperar a ver.

Yo creo que andará por ahí el precio 

Yo lo jugué una vez en casa de un colega y no me desagradó, pero no me gustó para comprarmelo. No te digo ya gastarme 100 lereles en una edición premium...

A mi me voló la cabeza en la tercera partida, también te digo. Y fácil de sacar a mesa con cualquier grupo, más o menos   

Alguna cosita más que han subido a la BGG

Yo tampoco lo veo. Los euros, por lo que conozco, que han sido "Deluxificados" suelen ser juegos o con cierta fama o juuegos algo duros. Este no cumple ninguna de las premisas y no veo a los jugones dejándose la pasta por un juego más bien sencillo, aunqué me equivocaré y le tirarán dineros a la pantalla.

Pues hombre, fama tiene. Hasta hace poco era top100 BGG, así que yo diría que al menos tenía más fama que Suburbia, Snowdonia o Yedo. Por citar euros recientemente deluxificados.

l8r!

Esto arranca mañana señores!!! Han puesto un post en la BGG donde explican los cambios, etc

Component Upgrades
The original Castles had mini cards, small round wood scoring tokens, and relatively thin cardboard rooms, coins, favors, and swan tokens (for Secrets). The fanciest item in the box was the Master Builder token, a wooden laser-cut mini replica of Neuschwanstein. Most of these items were barely acceptable in 2014, but all were very practical given the limited budget we had for publishing the game back then. The Collector's edition upgrades all of these and more:

Full Size Cards: The Collector's Edition features full size Bonus, Room, and Royal Decree (one of the new expansions) cards, which makes both much easier to read, and allows the great new art on the cards (even the backs of rooms look nicer) to shine through.



Plastic, weighted swan player markers: These gorgeous 3D swans have some serious heft to them, thanks to a metal base. They feel really solid in your hand when you pick them up to move them. As a bonus, because they have a head and tail, as you glide them along the curved scoretrack you'll always know what direction they are headed, without having to read the numbers on the board.

Thicker money, swan tokens and favors (Collector level): To make them easier to pick up, money, swan tokens, and favors at the Collector level are 3mm thick punchboard at the collector level.

Metal money (Royal level): Get redesigned, gorgeous 1000 and 5000 coins at the Royal backer level instead of the cardboard versions.



Glassy "geek-bit" style swan tokens (Royal level): Get silky-smooth glass-bead-like swan tokens at the Royal backer level instead of the cardboard versions.

Weighted Poker chip favors (Royal level): No flimsy plastic here! These heavy duty poker chips have a metal weight embedded in them, giving them heft. As they are now used in the Towers expansion, players will be picking them up three at a time now (use your legs, not your back). At the Royal backer level, these replace the cardboard favors.
no caption

Larger, painted master builder token (stretch goals): If we achieve the two Twitter stretch goals, we'll make a bigger (retweets) and painted (followers) Master builder token with more art from Anez.



Additional themed player colors (royal level, stretch goals): Backers at the Royal level might get a winter set of foyers and swans with different colors than the base set...a perfect match for the winter side of the scoreboard! The swan player markers have a slightly glittery look to further enhance the winter effect, and the foyers have unique colors and winter-themed symbols on them. And there might be more player colors if the campaign does exceedingly well...

Two-tiered barbicans (stretch goal): If we get enough additional Facebook followers, we'll provide two-tiered barbicans that partially overlap the foyers, adding another 3D aspect to your castles.

Rules changes (and the 5th player)
The original rules were printed on a fold-out sheet with everything crammed onto 6 box-sized pages, leaving little room for examples and detailed reference. Over the years, there have been questions about various things that weren't that clear, and also some complaints about how certain items were implemented. Oh, and it was limited to 4 players.

Layout: The rules have been reconfigured for a standard letter-size (about A4) booklet format. There are dozens of example figures and the reference in the back has detailed descriptions of every card and favor.

Fixes/Clarifications: There are of course a lot of minor fixes and clarifications in the rules based on player feedback over the past 6 years.



5th Player: We've come up with a very simple way to get 5 players to play Castles: First, you'll need to use the Towers expansion, as it adds enough room cards to make it work (you need 55). Second, the Master Builder now sets out TWO rooms on the 15000 space, with each room being able to be purchased separately. Third, more rooms are added to the room stacks. That's it! These are the exact same three areas that are changed when player count is 2, 3, or 4 players, so it's not much of a stretch to make it work now that there are more rooms and coins.

Swan tokens: Swan icons are now located on ALL of the 250, 300, 350, and 400 rooms. So there's no more counting out rooms from Secrets and combining them with the base game. In case you forget which room sizes have swans, there's a swan token on the backs of all of those rooms, too. Swan icons can be ignored if you don't want to play with that expansion, and all you have to do to play with it is put out a pile of those amazing swan tokens!

Secrets rooms: Because the swan icons are on *all* rooms of the four sizes listed above, there's no need to keep these rooms separate. Instead, just mix these in with the rest of the rooms (base game, Polish expansion, and any unlocked stretch goal rooms).

Setup is much faster: If you've already played Castles, you won't need to look in the rules for how many of each room there are, how many favors to put out, and how many room cards you need. We've put easy-to-read icons on the plastic trays and the scoreboard so that information is right there in front of you!

Art and Graphic Design
The original graphic design was done by yours truly, which means it was precariously balanced between barely acceptable and unpleasant. My graphic design skills are limited at best (I have lots of technical know how, but not so much in the much more important raw talent needed for great design). I'm responsible for the ridiculous amount of gray stone on all those boards, the backs of the cards and room tiles, and I have and continue to apologize for this. I'm also responsible for the minimalist room artwork, which was done to reduce confusion around the room icons. In hindsight it was definitely too simplistic.

Artwork: Every single item in the game has new art and a new design, much of it from amazing artist Agnieszka Dabrowiecka (Anez) and the rest from the supremely talented Bezier Games' graphic artist, Alanna Kelsey. Anez created all the artwork for the rooms, room backs, card backs, favors, bonus cards, and the cover artwork. Alanna painted those 3 incredible scoreboards and did the graphic design for most of the other items like the super fancy box and the Collector's Edition Kickstarter page (which is a work of art itself).



Graphic Design: All the icons have been tweaked to look better, new icons have been created for things like items per player count, the player aids have been totally reworked, and of course the scoreboard has been totally redesigned as well.

Easter eggs: We've put dozens of easter eggs all over the game. You'll have a lot of fun discovering them as you play.

Gameboards
The original scoreboard/contract board/room board design and functionality was 50% practicality, and 50% what will fit in the box (the triangle contract board was that shape in order to fit 7 room tiles along its edge, pretty much the same reason for Suburbia's triangle market board). That scoreboard was criticized for its zig-zag design, which seems to be disliked by most gamers. But the new scoreboards have been totally reimagined.

Winding Scoretrack: Gone is the despised (by most gamers) zig zag scoreboard, and in its place is a scoretrack that curves through the lake. It goes from 0 - 99, and because of the design you won't need a 100 marker if you are fortunate enough to get that many points. The plastic swans appear to be swimming in the lake as you score points.



Recessed areas for components: The board is recessed to allow the plastic trays, favors in play, and tower miniatures to sit in place during the game. One of the really cool things about the board is that two of the pieces are held together by plastic trays in the recessed areas, so the board doesn't come apart during the game.

Trays for holding room tiles/favors/cards: These custom, very sturdy plastic trays not only keep your room tiles, cards, and favors organized, but they also have the number needed for each player count printed directly on them.

Double-sided for two configurations and themes: The scoreboard has two sides. Side one is the Summer lake, a long, wide lake with a gently curving current for the swans to float along amongst the tray islands that contain room tiles, cards, and favors. Flip the scoreboard over, and now it's more of a squarish rectangle, where you'll find the winter lake. On this side, the swans meander along an ice cold waterway which has been precariously cut into the ice.
